Future Projection

Modeling projections based on IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) indicate a continued decline in seawater pH and aragonite saturation state (Ωarag) throughout the 21st century

Figure 1: Projected decline in aragonite saturation. The red line indicates the threshold below which coral reefs begin to dissolve.

A Corrosive Future is Projected

Scientific models predict a dangerous trajectory. Under a “business-as-usual” emissions scenario, by 2050 our coastal waters will become corrosive to coral skeletons for most of the year.

Which graphics are appropriate for Report?

  • Bitmap raster (PNG, JPG, TIFF)
  • Vector graphics (SVG, AI, PDF)
  • Both

What is the minimum resolution for print-quality raster images?

  • 72 DPI
  • 150 DPI
  • 300 DPI

To ensure accurate color reproduction on paper, which color mode should you use?

  • RGB
  • CMYK
  • HSL

High-Quality Graphics

High Resolution: photos and raster images must be at least 300 Dots Per Inch (DPI).

Figure 4: Low resolution images

High-Quality Graphics

  • CMYK Color Mode: The document’s color space must be CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), not RGB. This ensures accurate color reproduction on paper.
  • Vector Graphics: Use vector formats (like SVG) for logos, charts, and diagrams. They can be scaled to any size without losing sharpness.
